Ring-opening metathetical polymn. of 3,4-diisopropylidenecyclobutene in the presence of titanocene methylidene [83876-46-4] catalysts yielded elec. conducting polymer which was sol. in C6H6 and CHCl3 in its undoped form and exhibited high elec. cond. in its doped form. Thermoelec. power measurements on I2-doped films showed that the charge carriers were pos. charged. [on SciFinder(R)]
